"Felix, will you date me?" Hannah held her chin with both her hands and probed gingerly like a pet waiting for its master's treat.
Felix gritted his teeth, and the veins on his temples throbbed furiously. Yet a suspicious hue of scarlet appeared on his earlobes. "It's just a game. Don't take it seriously."
"But I'm being 100% serious, Felix. Are you turning me down?" Hannah's big, round orbs turned glossy. She pouted in a cutesy way. "If you agree to go out with me in front of everyone, we won't have to tell everyone that we're dating.
"Felix, I'm smart and obedient. I'll listen to you. And I promise I'll only love you even more in the future. Please say yes. You're missing out if you say no."
The host jumped in to give the couple-to-be a final push. "I hereby declare that Hannah's confession is a great success! From now on, Felix will be Hannah's boyfriend. Please treat Hannah kindly, Felix. Come, a round of applause to these two lovebirds!"
A thunderous applause erupted, and it lasted for a very long time. I was surprised by the turn of events. No wonder Hannah told me confidently just now that Felix would become hers. It seemed like she had planned everything.
At last, someone took Felix away from the dating pool. I hoped Hannah could change him for the better!
I clapped too. From the corners of my eyes, I saw how stunned Colin was, so I nudged him with my shoulder. His brother just found a girlfriend. As Felix's older brother, he should congratulate him.
Colin realized his mistake and applauded, ignoring Felix's long face. At that moment, I saw relief and joy in his eyes.
One birthday party was all it took to find Felix a girlfriend. And Hannah was way better than Lilac. Felix sure was very lucky. In the final round of the game, the flower bouquet was in Colin's hand. He picked truth.
